There is a work around for this that may resolve your issue. Please complete the following steps in order: * Select everything on the page. * Copy (to clipboard) everything you have…

Hello Danny, Using JQL to do dynamic searching can be very powerful, but it does have some limitation. Without add-ons, JQL will only allow for the following function references: * approved() * approver() * breached() * cascadeOption() * closedSprints() * completed() * componentsLeadByUser() * currentLogin() *…

Hello Ash, There are multiple add-ons available in the marketplace which add this functionality. Along with this, there was a feature request (CONFSERVER-52764) which has since been closed out. If you feel this should still be explored then you are welcome to create a new Feature Request and submit your use case. Regards,…

Hello, It does sound like you found a great work around to your issue. Using a transition at each status does sound like a good method (until webhooks can be introduced). Thanks for your response and what you did for your solution! Regards, Stephen Sifers

Hello Rosie, Thanks for the response. Can you please send a screen shot of the error or the text the error displays when you attempted to save over the draft? Regards, Stephen Sifers

Hello Rosie and welcome to the Community! Dealing with left over drafts that are preventing you from saving work can be frustrating. We need a bit more detail so we can get your proper instructions. Are you on Confluence cloud or server? When you go to save your page, are you displayed with an error message or prompt? I…

Hello, We want to ensure we answer your question in full detail. With that said, we need a bit more information to do so. When you mentioned updating fields, where do those fields live? When you mentioned transitions, would these be Jira issue transitions or Confluence page states? Another idea would be to have webhooks…

Hello Karanpreet and welcome the the Community, Having an easy way to quick create a meeting notes page base off your calendar in Outlook does sound ideal. As it stands though I am not finding anything that will allow you to create a meeting note page from Outlook. There is a feature request that we would suggest you vote…

Hello, That is great you’re looking to create a user macro for Confluence. While this is a general support Community, there are not as many developers that scroll through the questions here. You might be better served to create a post over in the Developer Community. Another reference is Developer.Atlassian.com. Regards,…

You might be better served to create a post over in the Developer Community. Another reference is Developer.Atlassian.com.…

Hello Colin and welcome to the Community, Excellent job creating template spaces and using them. It seems you really see the advantage to standardizing roll-outs. While you are using templates in the proper manner, something to be away of is the shortcomings you are experiencing. Template are a single points in time create…

Hello Vidya, Looks you have almost everything you need to get your attachment uploaded. It looks like the issue might be related to your headers: $headers = array(); $headers[] = "Accept: application/json"; $headers[] = "Content-Type: application/json"; Should Be: $headers = array(); $headers[] = "X-Atlassian-Token:…

Hello Navin, Using the Decision Register can be excellent for documenting everything you need around a decision. However, if you did not enter a creation date within the Page Properties macro then you will not be able to search on creation date within the Page Properties Report macro. If each decision has it own page you…

Hello Barbara, This is a great question. I did some digging to find out exactly how many characters will cause truncation and when you may see a status with all characters, here are the results: A status macro with more than 27 characters will be truncated. Within the edit window of the status macro, the text will not be…

Hello, Can you check the URL within the {include} macro to ensure it leads to the proper page? If the URL is bad or you do not have permission to the page you will get the following error: Unable to render {include} The included page could not be found. We look forward to your response so we can get this resolved for you.…

Hello Tanya, Create a meeting note page within confluence using your existing meeting request email sounds like an amazing and huge time saving idea! With that said, there is a feature request in place to allow you to create a confluence page from an email (in this case it would be your meeting request email). We would…

Hello Ash and welcome to the Community! The simple answer for your question is, No. Not out of the box without Add-Ons. The long answer is the chart macro is designed to render a table within the macro as a chart. It will not allow a seed excerpt table to be rendered. If you copy the table from your other page into the…

Hello Mandia, Glad SSO is working for you, that is rather frustrating you have to click the link twice to get the page to login and load. Can you give us a bit more background on which SSO product/vendor you are using? Is this for Confluence Server or Cloud? If Server, which add-on are you using to gain access to SSO? We…

Hello Johan, Looks like you have a solid understand of how CQL statements can and do work. And applying them to your Page Properties Report is a great use of CQL. With that said, the Page Properties Report has standard operators for the filters that are predefined. The Label filter does accept CQL for AND, OR and NOT. The…

Hello Cris, Working with blueprints can be challenging at times. It seems you have already made good progress with importing a single blueprint. Your duplicating blueprint issue might be caused by matching common descriptors within your atlassian-plugin.xml file. For each blueprint you will want to add unique common…

Hello Janet, I looked through the feature requests and was unable to find any mention of Microsoft stream in regards to the Widget Connector Macro. If you would like to see Microsoft stream brought into the Widget Connector Macro, we would strongly suggest you to create a feature requests to do so. Go to the following to…

Hello Josh, This can be extremely frustrating to deal with, even more so when it's something that has to be done throughout that day and is slowing you down. Microsoft Edge is a supported browser for Confluence, so there is no issue in using Edge with Confluence. With that said, let’s gather a bit more detail here: * Do…

Hello Jack, This is a great question about restricting tasks within a confluence page to an “assigned” user complete (without interference from others). By default, Confluence will anyone who has permissions to view or edit the page to then mark the task as completed (regardless if they are “assigned” as the @mentioned…

Hello Raffaele, That fact you are getting a Ok 200 back should mean the space was created. With that said, the permissions on the newly created Space may not be set thus only allowing Administrators access to see it within the Space directory. You can either check your space directory or run an API call to GET space to see…

Hello Alex, That is rather strange that the Navigation macro stopped showing new labels after a 5.9 to 6.10 upgrade. It does however sound like an indexing issue within Confluence. We would suggest you reindex and see if the Navigation macro is still coming up blank. Here are steps on completing a reindex for Confluence…

Beth, This certainly is a neat idea. I would urge you to submit a feature request as linked above. Regards, Stephen Sifers

Hello Kanika, Very glad to see you're using the API to update content, it really is a very efficient way to get things done quickly and excellent when paired with automation. With this said, if you are wanting to update the content of a Confluence page via the API you are going to need to know the storage format of what it…

Hello Beth, Well, it seems you found a very good work around and we did confirm this works with server and cloud. On that same note, we do not currently have anything in place to create a link that automatically highlights an attachment (outside of what you have so excellently documented). This is a really neat idea…

Hello Sam and welcome to the Community! So we ensure we provide an answer that matches your issue, we will need further information. With that said, how exactly are your bringing in Google Sheets into Confluence? Are you using an Add-On for this action? We look forward to your response so we may get you an answer. Regards,…

Hello Michelle and welcome to the Community! I believe you are using the Jira Issue Macro to display your “done” issues from Jira within Confluence. With that said, the default will display 1000 items. Within your Jira Issue Macro, you will need to set the Maximum Issues from blank or 1000 to 100. This will allow you to…
